The Distance Between
Us Is Only Time

Heart Mountain, 1942. America, today. One family's unbroken line of resistance.

In 1942, a woman named Marie drove through the frozen Wyoming interior to bring food and newspapers to Japanese Americans imprisoned at Heart Mountain. She brought her young son — not because he understood, but because she believed witness was inherited. Decades later, her grandson would stand at another fence, carrying the same conviction. This novel traces the thread that connects them — across internment, federal overreach, and the recurring American impulse to target what it fears.
